it's one of the book club puzzles. How and why in three devil's names can Noji speak to Kathie like that. It almost sounds like a threat. Where is their connection? And when Kathie turns to the MC she says, "See you again?" Question mark!
Well, there's more to that whole dynamic as well.
In WIAB, the Zanes and Holgersons are still tight. Katie and Zoey are in a relationship. By the end of the old WIAB Ch 6, members of the Petrova and Revera families were Zane family adversaries.
Decades later, in SG, we have the Zanes, Petrovas, and Reveras uniting to sponsor a college - ZPR. Members of those three families attend the college. Meanwhile, Mario Holgerson attends a rival college. Yes, it could be because that college is more elite, but the van Halens and Petrovas also fit within in that circle.
What is the current relationship between the Zanes and the Holgersons? Between Katie and Zoey?
That's where two sub-plots in SG will likely reveal the current relationship between the Zanes and the Holgersons, for better or for worse:
- Katie Zane's interest in Nika and Ayua Zane's friendship with Nika, versus
- Nika and Bella's plot to f^^k up the Holgersons.
How will the Zanes (and the Petrovas and Reveras) react to that plot if it succeeds?
